INSTRUCTIONS: RELATED APPLICATIONS The present invention claims to apply for a US Provisional Patent Application No. 61/156,064 under 35 USC § 119(e) for the application date of February 27, 2009. Quan Ying' is hereby incorporated by reference. [Technology field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a sleeve for a container. 〇 Background of the Invention Hot and cold drinks (such as coffee, tea, refreshing drinks, etc.) are usually sold in disposable beverage cups, such as paper cups, plastic cups, and foaming drink cups. % will use a sleeve to combine with the cup to convey information, such as advertising, branding, or promotional messages, or to help the user's hand be isolated from the temperature of the contents of the cup. However, single-size sleeves cannot be shared with cups of different sizes. C 明内 ^ SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 揭 An adjustable sleeve for a container is disclosed. The sleeve includes a body having a defined-opening-top edge, a defined bottom opening, a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end are joined by a closure to form a conical configuration of the body. The closure device allows the first end to rotate in opposite directions relative to the second end, which can cause a change in the reverse diameter of the opening defined by the top edge and the opening defined by the bottom edge. This rotation allows the sleeve to be adjusted to the dimensions and taper of many different cups and other containers. Other systems, methods, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the <RTIgt; It is to be understood that all of the additional systems, methods, features, and advantages of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention and are protected by the scope of the following claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a front view of a sleeve assembled with a container; Fig. 2 is a view of a sleeve blank; Fig. 3 is a view of a sleeve in a neutral state; Figure 1 is a view of a sleeve having an acute-angled tapered surface; Figure 6 is a view of a sleeve and a container; Figure 7 is a sleeve and a container A first side view of the positioning; and Fig. 8 is a second side view of the positioning of a sleeve and a container. I: Embodiment 3 Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment Containers such as cups and food containers are widely used in offices, restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and other institutions. The size of the container can vary widely, for example from about 2 oz to about 32 oz or more. An adjustable sleeve that is shared with a container is disclosed herein. The adjustability of the sleeve allows a sleeve to conform to different sizes and tapers. The use of an adjustable sleeve to convey information and/or provide thermal insulation not only has manufacturing efficiencies, but also reduces waste and can help with rapid promotional strategy changes. In Figure 1, a sleeve 10 can be positioned with a container 12. The sleeve 10 can be removed from the container 12, can be fixedly attached to the container 12, and/or removably secured to the container 12. The container 12 can include a base 14 end and an edge 16 end. The container 12 can be made of plastic, foam, paper or other materials and can be adapted to contain hot or cold food or beverages. The base 14 of the container 12 can include a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the edge 16 such that the sidewalls taper from the open top of the container 12 to the closed bottom. The taper may be defined as a taper angle q Θ from a vertical line of a wall portion of the container 12. The cone angle Θ of a container 12 may vary with the size of the container 12, for example, the cone angle Θ may be θ = 0. To θ=40. Or a larger range. The sleeve 10 can also be shared with a container 12 that does not contain a taper or has an inverted cone such that the diameter of the substrate 14 is greater than the edge 16. The sleeve 10 can be combined with the container 12 such that the sleeve 10 surrounds the circumference of the container 12. The sleeve can define a first edge 18, such as a top edge, and a second edge 20, such as a bottom edge. The first edge 18 and the second edge 2〇 may be arched. The sleeve 10 can be secured to the container 12, such as by friction or by a Q-adhesive manner such as a hot melt, short-acting or non-short-acting adhesive. For example, the sleeve 10 can be made of cardboard, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, plastic, foam, cellulose fibers, pure white virgin paper, brown recycled paper, or other materials, and can be recycled or composted. In addition to this, for example, the sleeve 10 may be one or more layers, and may have wrinkles, grooves, air passages, air pockets, ridges, indentations, scores, notches, slits, and the like. Scorges, notches or slits provide further adjustability to the shape of the sleeve. The sleeve 10 can have a surface facing the cup 12 and a surface facing away from the cup 12. For example, any surface of the sleeve 10 may include graphics, information, advertising, thermochromic features, and/or photochromic features. For example, the sleeve may have thermochromic features, such as a pattern that changes color due to temperature changes. In another example, the hexagram can have photochromic features that change when reacted to light. These features can be used, for example, to function as a container to provide the temperature of the contained material. Alternatively or additionally, an insulating material may be applied to a surface such as, but not limited to, a wax, a foam, a glue, a chemical, a dye' or any other material such as a protective surface. Fig. 2 is a view showing an example of a blank of a sleeve 1〇. The blank of the sleeve 10 can include a first edge 18 and a second edge 20 of the sleeve 10, which can be the top and bottom of the blank, and vice versa. The blank of the sleeve 10 can also include a first end 22 and a second end 24. The first end 22 and the second end 24 of the sleeve blank may each include a top corner 23, 23' where the ends 22, 24 meet the first edge 18 of the sleeve 10. The first end 22 and the second end 24 of the blank of the sleeve 10 may respectively include a bottom corner 25, 25', where the ends 22, 24 are adjacent to the second edge of the blank of the sleeve 10. 20 rendezvous. The first end 22 of the blank of the sleeve 10 can include a closed region 28 that can be about the center between the top corner 隅 23 and the bottom corner 隅 25. Alternatively or in addition, the second end 24 of the sleeve 10 can include a closed region 28' that can be about the center between the top corner 隅 23' and the bottom corner 隅 25'. The closely spaced regions 28, 28 can be of any shape such as, but not limited to, a circular 'diamond, rectangular or irregular shape. As also shown in Fig. 3, the sleeve 1 can be formed by joining the joints of the sleeve 10 to form a continuous or intermittent ring. The ends (22) of the blank of the sleeve (4) may be, for example, threaded, bolted/flanged Orange) fasteners, or any other resilient, e.g., rotating device, joined to the closure regions 28, 28. For example, the end (10) of the blank of the sleeve 1 is bonded to a closed area 28, 28. The adhesive can be a ugitive glue, such as a flexible or bendable short-acting adhesive.

The adhesive can be applied to the closure regions 28, 28 and a pivot region 30 can be created. The adhesive retains the ends while still retaining the pivotal region 3G (Fig. 3) where the ends 22, 24 are secured. The blank of the sleeve 10 can also include a through hole 26 (Fig. 2) such that when the self-container 12 is removed, the sleeve 1 can be folded into a flat surface (3rd rotten. Folded into a flat surface can be The sleeve is effectively packaged in a usable form. The planar form of the sleeve 10 can also be stored on, for example, a counter, in a storage container, in a box, on a shelf, etc., and the sleeve iq can be self-folded. Transforming into an unfolded form, for example, by pushing inward on a fold line formed by the through holes 26 (Fig. 2). The adhesive area 27 (Fig. 2) can also be applied to other positions of the sleeve, such as The inner surface of the sleeve (facing the surface of the container 12) is at a vertical centerline. The bonding regions 27 (Fig. 2) can secure the sleeve 1() to the container 12. The bonding region 27 (Fig. 2) may be a short-acting adhesive, or an aged adhesive, which may be bent with the sleeve 10 or may be _ or any other adhesive. Figure 3 is a view showing the back of a sleeve 10 - Neutral (eg unbent) and folded configuration... The configuration of the sleeve can vary depending on the implementation. The 7 201040082 sleeve 10 can be borrowed Formed at the ends 22, 24 of the sleeve 10. The ends 22 and 24 are engageable in a closed region 28 to form a pivotal region 3''. The pivoting region 30 allows the equiangular ridge 23, 23', 25, 25' are rotatable relative to each other. For example, rotation at the pivotal region 30 increases the overlap distance 35 between the equal angles 23 and 23, and reduces the equiangular turns 25 and 25' The overlap distance 37. The sleeve 10 can have an opening for receiving a container 12 at the first end 31 and the second end 33 of the sleeve 10. The sleeve is closed (for example, when When applied to a container, it can have a diameter. For example, the sleeve 1 can have a diameter 34 that can represent the diameter 29 of the first end 31 of the sleeve 10, one can be expressed at or near the pivot The diameter 36 of the diameter at the region 30, and a diameter 38 which may be indicated at the second end 33 of the sleeve 10. Figure 4 is a view showing that the sleeve 1 has been rotated to fit a greater than neutral state. Cone angle Θ (Fig. 1). The sleeve 10 can be adapted to a tapered angle Θ (Fig. 1) of a container 12 by, for example, outward bending. For example, when a container 12 When passing through the top 31 of the sleeve 10, the taper of the sleeve 10 can be increased by the rotation at the pivoting region 30. The rotation of the end portions 22, 24 of the sleeve 1 about the pivoting region 30 The overlap distance 35 between the corners 23 and 23' can be reduced, which can increase the diameter 34. This rotation can simultaneously increase the overlap distance 37 between the corners 25 and 25, which can reduce the diameter 38. The diameter 36 at or near the region 30 remains fairly constant throughout the course of the rotation, or may be slightly increased or decreased (e.g., to a lesser extent than the changes in 34 and 38). When the sleeve 10 is bent outwardly' The distance between the first edge 18 (Fig. 1) and the second edge 20 (Fig. 1) may be increased or decreased. Figure 5 is a view showing that a sleeve 10 has been rotated to fit a taper angle θ (Fig. 1) of a less than neutral state 201040082 ’. The sleeve U) can be tapered by an incremental angle θ (g) of the device 12 by, for example, bending inwardly. For example, when a container passes through the top 31 of the sleeve 10, the taper of the sleeve 1 can be reduced by the rotation of the sleeve about the pivot region 30. The rotation of the ends 22, 24 of the sleeve 10 about the pivoting region, for example, increases the overlap distance 35 between the corners 23 and 23, which is straightened 34. This rotation can simultaneously reduce the angles 25 and 25, and the weight I between them is 37' which increases the diameter 38. The pivotal area paste diameter % is maintained at a relatively constant (4) rotation, or may be increased or decreased (for example, to a lesser extent than the changes of 34 and 38). This diameter 36 is not in the same position in all configurations. However, regardless of the diameter % and the increase or decrease in the diameter of the f' diameter 36 will remain fairly fixed. When the sleeve 10 is bent inward, the distance between the first edge 18 (Fig. 1) and the second edge plus (4) pattern may be increased or decreased. Figure 6 shows a rear view of the sleeve 1() positioned with the container η. This figure only shows how the appearance can be changed by the adjustment of the sleeve 1〇 and the cone angle θ (i 〇 ® ) of the container. For example, the overlap distance %, 37 may increase or decrease with the angle θ (Fig. 1). Further, the overlapping distances 35 and 37 can be adjusted in reverse, i.e., 37 decreases as 35 increases, and vice versa. The straight slaves 34, 38 may also be adjusted for the diameters 34 and 38 along with the cones, for example, when the % is increased, and vice versa. Figures 7 and 8 are a first side view and a second side view showing the positioning of the sleeve (7) and the container n. This figure only shows that the appearance can be changed by the state of the sleeve_adjustment and the taper angle θ (Fig. 6) of the container 12. For example, the first edge 18 of the sleeve 10 201040082 can form an angle θ' with respect to the horizontal line 80. Similarly, the second edge 20 of the sleeve 10 can form an angle Θ" with respect to the horizontal line 80. The equal angles θ', θ" can be adjusted with the sleeve 10 and the cone angle of the container 12 (the 1,6)) The state changes. An adjustable sleeve that is shared with a container is disclosed. The taper of the sleeve is adjustable so that the sleeve can accommodate a wide range of containers. The sleeve also provides insulation between the container and the user's hand. The width of the sleeve from top to bottom may be, for example, at least the width of the two fingers of an adult hand, and is shaped to allow a thumb and at least three fingers to be placed on the sleeve. The use of the sleeve creates application information for the container (eg, about content and advertising, promotions, source information, trademarks, and instructions). This information can be time-sensitive or time-limited. Accordingly, organizations that rely on containers to communicate information may need to constantly enter and exit their disposable container inventory. This can result in wastage (discarding expired container inventory) and/or delays. By providing a sleeve that is adjustable and can be shared with a wide range of containers, the amount of laminate used to make the protective sleeve can be reduced, resulting in reduced waste, which is environmentally friendly.
